Last March 26, 2006, Jubilee Evangelical Church held its first Badminton Tournament under the theme "Serve for Christ". The response was indeed remarkable! We see 56 participants from all ages as young as 8 years old from Jubilee main and daughter churches trooping into Smart Shot Badminton and Sports Center. Playing four (4) teams (Blue, Green, Red and Yellow) where each team is composed of players from 7 categories each: Mens' Doubles 1, 2, & 3, Ladies' doubles, Mixed Doubles 1 & 2 and Juniors' Doubles, following a format of Single Round Robin-Point System.

Through this event, the tournament unites all churches of JEC members. We were able to build good chemistry and strong camaraderie not only among the participants, but also with friends and members of their family. The friendly atmosphere and sportsmanship further strengthened our relationship as one family in Christ Jesus.

On behalf of Jubilee Evangelical Church, we highly commend our Sports Committee headed by our Deacon Christopher Beltran, our organizers, David Ayroso, Janette Ayroso and Elena Lam, our lovely deconess Annette Esparaz who led our opening prayer and volunteered as the emcee for the event, and our Pastor Greg Benidy for closing the event with a prayer.

We would like to thank the sponsors for the summer-colored T-shirts, comfortable slippers, refreshing sorbetes and a sumptuous dinner. Our special thanks to the staff of Badminton X-treme who made a special coverage of the event which will be aired over Channel 23.

May the Lord continue to bless our church as we are encourage a healthy fitness program and edifying fellowship amongst members. To God be all the glory!

And now, the Top finishers are:
